Task 2 for Round 11 of OC-training

Draw your OC in their underwear, showing body tyoe and scars, tattoos etc. Also draw four common expressions for the character.

So here we have Beth, poor thing, fallen foul of another prank. I hope someone can help her find her clothes before it's time to go home. (P.E. is Physical Education or Gym Class in the UK).

Just to clarify before the feeling sets, she's not that much of a victim. The pranks aren't as often as it may seem from the first two tasks. It's just I like to provide a plausible reason for all the round's tasks, and this seemed the most obvious for Beth.

Beth is a fuller figured girl, being a size 16 (UK), or a 14/Extra-Large (US) and 44 in Europe. Mostly in the bust and hips. This is another reason she gets singled out.

Her hair has actually been significantly remodelled for OC-Training. Originally it was just a sort of mess with a few curls sticking out but after trying to find good references or guides to drawing curly hair, it turned into tight curls... and generated a new story arc...

Beth's curly, afro hair and darker/smokey skin tones (a work in progress ) are down to her ancestry. Back in the last years of slavery, her great, great grandmother was an Afrikaans slave who gave birth to her English Nobleman owner's illegitemate child. The women of the family have always carried that recessive gene which shows in their curly hair and tan skin colours. This all comes out in a school project on genealogy...

Much to Claire's horror when she realises the English nobleman in question is one of her ancestors!

Beth generally only needs her glasses for reading but tends to forget and leave them on all the time.

The emotions you can see are embarrassment, shock, fear, happiness/satisfaction/awwww, and tiredness. And if you don't thin tiredness is an emotion, think about how you say it... I feel tired

Finally we have the all important explanation to the Guess-Who in task 1;

Everyone realised she was a schoolgirl, and many of you would be aware that I'm British, so she is a Britsh Schoolgirl. It's a state school, not private. Uniforms are still a thing over here, though shirt... sorry blouse and tie are more from my era. Oh and it's not a formal blazer (jacket) its actually a cardigan because Beth is a year older than her classmates and embarrassed about her busty figure, so she tries to camoflauge it.

Beth sometimes gets bullied because of her habit or regularly falling asleep in class and also because she is poor and can't afford designer things. Claire and her henchgirl Tina are the main culprits along with Hannah (not pictured).

In the background you can see Alycia (main protagonist and a magical girl) and her best friend Miku, trying to protect Beth. They aren't close friends intitally but when Beth gets drawn into the troubles of the magical side of the world, they do become good friends.

As with a lot of my things, the devil was in the detail here. In the items on her desk.

The books were reverse psychology They are the subjects she is worst at and needs to revise more.

The pink thing was supposed to be a handkerchief LOL

The letter was adressed to Cancer Research. Beth has a member of close family with cancer. But more on that in a later task.

The phone call was from her mum (buth the white ink didn't show up properly). And the phone was an old model.

The grey box was a Tyre Repair Kit. But not for a bike. Again, more on that one in a later task.

The words magnified by her glasses weren't important, it was the fact they were magnified. She is short sighted.

There was a sewn tear on her cardigan arm. This reinforced that she was poor and couldn't afford a new one, but also that she is able to sew.

The metronome shows that she can play the piano. She's actually rather good but no-one realisdes because she sleeps through the lesson

Lastly the badge said 'Dale Garage' showing Beth works in a petrol station forecourt shop, overnight, as well as school. This is a much bigger deal than in the US as Beth is only 17 and it's illegal to work nights until you are 18 and a legal adult. Most jobs schoolchildren do are of the papergirl kind.

Oh and Beth is 17 when her classmates are all 15 & 16 (Miku is 14 but that's a special case, she's a borderline genius) because Beth had to take a year out of school for... personal reasons.

And that is why Beth falls asleep a lot. She works a full time job on nights, goes to school and has other... commitments too. Again these will become apparent in a later round. She also volunteers for charities sometimes. No wonder she falls asleep a lot...

Beth is a character in my Magical Girl Manga, 'Spirit Hunter Artemis'. You can find out more about her and her friends, and read the manga so far, here;
